7. Threepenny: Pinsky, Thom Gunn Thom Gunn was a great genius who had no interest in the posestriking or the selfishness called up by the word genius. He was above such stuff (or as he http://www.threepennyreview.com/samples/pinsky_su05.html

Summer 2005 On Thom Gunn Robert Pinsky Thom Gunn was a great genius who had no interest in the pose-striking or the selfishness called up by the word "genius." He was above such stuff (or as he might prefer, to the side of it). Professors or poets sometimes explain their own importance to the young. Not Thom: many a Berkeley undergraduate knew Professor Gunn was a terrific teacher, without knowing that their instructor wrote poems, let alone great ones. Graduate students who read all sorts of assigned claptrap did not know The Man with Night Sweats or Moly —or the seminal essay "Thomas Hardy and the English Ballad," which should have been required reading for them. His virtues of charity and modesty were as unsentimental as his observant, cat-like gaze. The charity came from Thom's unillusioned and unshowy comprehension of how shitty even the best of people can be, and very likely have been. He accepted the defects of other people as he accepted his own. His modesty came from his confidence: he had a master artist's genial, understated contempt for self-importance. Thom showed these qualities to me, and taught me a lesson, when we were colleagues in the mid-1980s. At the time, a clever lunatic was making phone calls to poets, pretending to be various other well-known figures, or a composer interested in setting some work by his victim. I can remember this character singing passages of my poem "History of My Heart" to me over the phone, in a Texas accent that I thought at the time might be fake, though vanity and caution kept me from saying so. To his discredit, this demented son of a bitch also tormented Robert Duncan, in Duncan's last years. I think I identified him as a phony when he called me pretending to be Duncan. One theory or rumor at the time was that he actually was a certain notoriously unstable East Coast poet of reputation, but that was never proved.

T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z Gunn, Thom (1929-2004) The Anglo-American writer Thom Gunn was a major gay poet and a perceptive critic of gay poetry. Gunn was born in Gravesend, Kent, and educated at University College School, Bedales and Trinity College, Cambridge. After coming to the United States in 1954, he studied at Stanford and taught at the University of California, Berkeley. He won a number of prestigious awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, the W. H. Smith Award, the Forward Press Award, and the MacArthur Prize. Sponsor Message. Gunn's poetry has a popular reputation for sex and drugs and leather. This comes largely from the repeated anthologizing of his early poems from the collections Fighting Terms (1954) and The Sense of Movement (1956). In both books, a heroic masculine posing is celebrated as preferable, existentially, to the dull passivity of conformity. His leather boys in the poem "On the Move" are "always nearer by not keeping still." The voice of "Carnal Knowledge" admits that "even in bed I pose." Posing does not disappear entirely from Gunn's later poems; there is often the sense of looking at looking at looking. And this perspective is exacerbated in the collections after

18. Thom Gunn This guide was originally written to cover a selection of poems prescribed as a set text for exam, but can be used as a way in to the study of thom gunn s http://www.universalteacher.org.uk/poetry/gunn.htm

Thom Gunn's poetry - study guide Navigation Home page Contents Forum Maximize ... Maximize Introduction I have written this study guide for students taking GCE Advanced level (AS and A2) courses in English literature, and other comparable literature courses. It is suitable for undergraduates and the general reader who is interested in the study of poetry. This guide was originally written to cover a selection of poems prescribed as a set text for exam, but can be used as a way in to the study of Thom Gunn's poems generally. The poems considered explicitly here are these: From The Sense of Movement On the Move, The Corridor From My Sad Captains In Santa Maria del Popolo, Claus von Stauffenberg, My Sad Captains From Touch The Goddess, Touch, In the Tank, The Vigil of Corpus Christi From Moly The Sandman, The Discovery of the Pacific, Sunlight All these collections are currently out of print, but they are available in Thom Gunn's Collected Poems pub. Noonday, 1995; ISBN 0374524335. On an Advanced level course you should study your chosen text (here a range of poems) in very close detail. In preparing for an exam you need to learn to see the whole wood, as well as look at individual trees. Back to top In this tutorial you will study a selection of poems from a number of collections by Thom Gunn. While you are expected to show an individual and personal response to the poems, this does not mean that any view is as good as another. You should be aware of the critical consensus (i.e. generally-held views) in regard to Gunn's work. In the first place, this will come from your teacher's informed exposition of the texts, but you must feel free to question anything which is not clear. If you have insights of your own, please contribute these to discussion: it is quite usual for students to discover things of interest which may have been overlooked. You may also wish to read commentaries by professional critics. The most accessible guide for students is Alan Bold's
